The brutal abuse of convicts such
as reported by the Kinds county
grand jury, is not the only ugly side
TO the present infamous lease sys-
TEN. Jos. Lotion, who brutally
murdered his brother Moses in Law
renee county in 1884, and whose
conviction cost that county some
thousand or more dollars, has lately
made his escape from the Managers
Of the Gulf & Ship Island Railroad,
who had him at work on said road.
We are reliably informed that at
times this brutal murderer was al
lowed the utmost liberties by the
Penitentiary management, even to
the extent Of dressing in citizens
clothes and attending rural dancing
parties in the nighborhoods contig-
uous to where he was employed,
and his escape is therefore not all
to be wondered at. How long, o
how long, will the people tolerate
such abuses?

from Captain T.. o. Matthews, commanding
the United States steamer Brooklyn, dated
Bombay, India, December 9, 1886, IN which
he states that. leaving Muscat, Arabia, Oc-
tober 9th, he reached Bushire, Persia, Oc-
tOber 3iSt. 1t being dangerous to cOmmu-
nicate from the outside, he wore the ship
to the inner harbor, and on the Sd

OF the Shah's fifty.eighth birthday.
In the evening the band was sent TO
play at the Governors residence. The
usual visits were made AMI returned. On
the Sd, accompanied by party OF officers,
he left the ship for ShiraZ, the capital OF
the Province OF Farsistan, and from there
to the ruins Of Persepolis. The distance

They were escorted to the summer gar

ceIved every attention. At /aTcOen the
Governor entertained them at breakfast,
and upon returning TO ShiraZ they stopped
in the city with Mr. A. Malcolm. the cousin
Of our Consul AZ Bushre. Captain Nat

THE DROWNED SURPRISES.
Thsir Burial ana Their FamiIiss-A

To the Editor Of the Dispatch.

spondent, in relating the facts connected
with the burial Of the surfmen who lost
their lives in the attempt 10 save the crew
OF the wrecked ship Elizabeth" last
Saturday, says; "The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. Savage, OF the Episco.
nal church. The drowned men were all
regular attendants OF the Episcopal mis-.
sion chapel, near Virginia Beach," There
ia o mistake in each Of these sentences.
First, the services were not conducted
exclusively by Mr.. Savage. Secondly, the
men were not soil regular attendants OF the
Episcopal mission chapel, near Virginia
Beach," The facts are these: The Episco.
pal Mission Is at No. hle-saT ing station.
Two OF the men drowned-James +. Be
langa and joseph Spratley, belonged TO the
No. 3 crew, and were regular attendants
OF the Episcopal mission chapel" there.
Their wives are members OF the Metho-
dist church. The remaining surfmen
drowned-Captain Webb Belanga, John
Land, aud George StOne-belonged at No.
life saving station, SIX miles south OF No. 3,
and were regular attendants in fair weather
on the services at Tabernacle Methodist
church. Mrs. Belanga and Mrs. Lana
are members OF the Methodist church, and
Mrs. Stone is also, think.
The bodies Of the three noble fellows
from No. 4 were brought to Tabernacle
church on Monday, and / delivered the
sermon. After the sermon Brother Savage
arrived with the bodies OF the two heroes
from No. 3, and concluded the services in
my pulpit at my request. At the grave he
and ! together, at his request, conducted
the commIttal services over the body OF
James f. Belanga. The Masons and Knights
Of Pytbias inferred Captain Belanga. and
the Knights OF Pythias and Odd-Fellows
inferred Mr.. Spratey.
NObly have these brave men done their
duty; but they have, with one exception,
left dependent families.
Captain Belanga's widow has no children
and is comfortable. But something must
be done, and that quickly, for Mrs. j. T..
Beanga and one child, Mrs. Spratley and
three small children, Mrs. stone and one
little babe, and Mrs. Land aud two small
children. Here is where philanthropy can
lind splendid field in which to operate
hope the good people all over the state
will come 10 their help at once. ANY con-
tributiOns sent in care OF the Norfolk
Landmarks will be forwarded TO Brother
Savage and myself, and given by Us proper
direction. Respectfully.

the cArrLG RANGES.
A warm Wave saves the stock and
maize, the Outlook Coed.

A ST. Paul (Mlnn.) special says: Tele-
grams received by general freight agents
Of the Northern Pacific say the reports re"
ceiyed al Miles City from all the Monana
ranges show the cattle on them to be In ex-
ceIlent shape, Notwithstanding the very
cold weather experienced during the past
week or ten DAYS. The outlook Mt one time
was very discouraging, and every one
looked forward to fearful mortal
ty. The cattle had already begun
to hump themselves when the pres
ent chinook made it's appearance. The
warm wave was all that saved the stock. II
was feared that the warm weather would be
Immediately followed by cold snap, which
would have the effect OF putting crust on
the snow on the ground. This, however,
did not prove TO be the case, and cOnse-
mently cattle do not now want for either
food or water. Upon the hillsi1es the snow
has been blown off, and plenty OF grass can
be foHnd. Yesterday there was lOinches OF
snow on the ground about Miles City, but
the mercury in the morning registered 20 .
above zero. On the ranges north and south
OF there the snow is light aud well blown
off. Fast.lne riders report that there are
very few dead cattle upon the ranges. The
trouble the stock men have Is keeping the
cattle out OF the valleys, where the grass
has been well nibbled. When the weather
becomes very cold, and the grass in the val
leys Is covered by foot or more OF snow,
the cattle, rather than venture upon the side
hills, hump themselves and soon perish.
The fast-line riders are a body OF men or
ganized for the purpose OF driving the cat
tie from the valleys on to the hillsides where
grass is plenty and easily gotten at.
A For, Shaw special says the Fort shaw
Livestock Company, whose range u on the
north side Of the sun river, reports small
losses. There is not much snow on the
ranges, and the ground Is bare in some
places. The stockmen report twelve inches
OF snow badly drifted. The ground Is bare
IN several places, but no losses OF cattle are
reported. The sun river and vicinity re-
port cattle in fair condition. There IS con-
siderable snow, badly driited in some
places. 4 plenty Of bare places is reported.
